It was supposed to be a good and looked forward day, but turned up to be a bad one. Nevertheless, the time was still well-spent. I coped myself in the library and had popeye which I had craved for very long. Then settled @ somewhere nearby to read the book "Love in Translation" by Wendy Nelson Tokunaga that I loaned in the afternoon.
This book is really interesting (to me), that I can't get my eyes off it. It gonna be the very first english novel that I completed and is completed reading it within 1 day if I finish it before 4.30pm. Which I think I will! As I had completed 196pages already, and left like 64pages to go only.
"It is about this lady named as Celeste receives a puzzling phone call and a box full of her mysterious family heirlooms that just might be the first clue to the identity of the father she never knew. Impulsively, she flies to Japan to search for a long-lost relative who could provide an answer and stumbles headfirst into a weird, wonderful world.
With little knowledge of Japanese, she finds a friend in her english-speaking homestay brother, Takuya, and comes to depend on him for all varieties of translation, travel and investigatory needs. As they cross the country following the trail of Celeste's family, she discovers she's developing "more than sisterly" feelings for me. But with a nosy homestay mom scheming to reunite Takuya with his ex-girlfriendm and the chances for a sucessful search growing slimmer, she begins to wonder whether she's made a terrible mistake by coming to Japanese."
My english and book review ain't this good. It was from the back of the book. (:
- Did I mention that I never finish reading an english novel before? But I did for chinese novels though.
- Am I becoming more loner or should I call it independance?
- As much as I wish, it's usually not the case.
